Cherubs and gold bells set this picture's festive tone, with the cheerful wish of its title spelled out across the design. Cards like this one were popular in the later 19th century, when color printing made inexpensive holiday greetings widely available and the Christmas season was becoming a family occasion built around shared meals. Its place under Food reflects that link, since the holiday table was central to how people marked the season. Look closely at the gilding and layered ornament, which show how much care went into making these small printed keepsakes.
